Meal Etiquette While most Turks eat with spoons and forks, they rarely eat with knives. While urbanites eat at tables western- style, rural Turks still eat on the ground on a cloth. Use your hands to shield your mouth when you pick your teeth. Eat everything on your plate!

Turkish Customs Turks value punctuality. Your host pays for your restaurant dinner if he invited you but you pay if you issued the invitation. Make sure your host drinks before taking wine as a gift.

Turkish Literature During Ottoman Empire era, Turkish literature mainly influenced by Arabic and Persian writers; after World War I, Turkish writers were more influenced by European literature. Turkey has one Noble-prize winning author named Orhan Pamuk. Mr. Pamuk has written novels about the tension between western and Ottoman society in Turkey. Ironically, in one recent poll, 70% of all Turks admitted that they do not read books.

Cappadocia Cappadocia- located in the middle of the Anatolian peninsula, the Cappadocia region is known for its underground cave cities and “fairy chimney” rock formations.

Hisarlik or Troy Discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, the Turkish city of Hisarlik was also the location of the ancient city of Troy. Troy was featured in Homer’s masterpiece “The Iliad.” This area is one of the most heavily excavated in the world.
